I just found out like 5 minutes ago we are having a potluck at my place of work. Dont really have much groceries at home. So any inexpensive recipes would be awesome! I am a good cook and good baker. SO anything would be helpful.
Again the potluck is tommorow, and I am fairly new here still so want to kind of impress. It will be for about 15 people.
Please include the recipe if you can! Thanks!

    Do you have a crock pot? If so, try this simple and easy recipe. It’s inexpensive b/c it does not require a lot of ingredients, and you can throw it in the crock pot tonight so it will be ready by morning. Let me find it for you in my questions…..

    Here you go, it’s the chicken chili in my question. I’m actually making it tonight, it’s SO delicious!

    We just had a pot luck and one of the best things was mushroom caps with like ground beef seasoned like pizza and a little bit of Mozilla cheese on top. put in the microwave for about 4 minutes and OMG they are the best.

    What about a Shepherds pie with ground beef? I found a great recipe on this site. Some people call it Cottage pie when you use ground beef instead of lamb…

    2 (10 ounce) cans chunk chicken, drained
    2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
    1 cup Ranch dressing
    3/4 cup pepper sauce, such as Franks® Red Hot®
    1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

    1 bunch celery, cleaned and cut into 4 inch pieces
    crackers or tortillas

    DIRECTIONS
    Heat chicken and hot sauce in a skillet over medium heat, until heated through. Stir in cream cheese and ranch dressing. Cook, stirring until well blended and warm. Mix in half of the shredded cheese, and transfer the mixture to a slow cooker. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top, cover, and cook on Low setting until hot and bubbly. Serve with celery sticks and crackers.
